AdrianMF Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Here's a recent Blitzbuild dropout that I managed to finish within the week (a Drizzlebuild?). The decals for this were "interesting", but we got there in the end. Build thread is here. Anyway, pics: There is an ICM kit out there, which is apparently much better, but it wasn't in my stash! Thanks for looking, Adrian 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 The Matchbox kit captures the sleek lines of the He 70 very well, I think, and they are further enhanced by your beautiful build. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vile Traveller Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Beautiful job with a beautiful aeroplane! I have a soft spot for Matchbox from my youth when I built almost nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was from the Airfix/FROG cohort - Matchbox were just coming in when I went off to college. I built the Fury (their first kit) as the last build of my youth. So far I’ve only built the Fury, Privateer (for a mate whose Dad flew in them as a post-war coastguard) and this. I want to do more of their biplanes, because they seem particularly nice.

roginoz Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 What an exceptionally elegant aircraft !! Not one I would have chosen for a Blitzbuild, but then my build speed isn't up with yours....... Another kit to add to the "kits to look out for" list.

kapam Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Brilliant! I too have the Matchbox kit in my stash (well, the Revell kit actually, but I believe it is still Matchbox's moulds). Your build is very inspiring; though probably to a better standard than I am likely to achieve. I especially like the Lufthansa livery which enhances the sleek lines of the plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
